Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho has said he and his teammates are ready to take on Jurgen Klopp’s mighty Liverpool when the two sides meet in the third round of the Carabao Cup at Anfield on Tuesday. Soccernet.ng reported.
The Foxes started the new season well, winning seven of their eight league games and defeating Burton Albion and Tranmere Rovers in the Carabao Cup.
Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp’s Reds have also started the season in style, winning six of their last seven games. This puts them in second place in the Premier League, just two points behind champions Manchester City.
After playing against Merseyside clubs in the Premier League in recent years, Leicester will travel to Second Division Anfield this season.
However, according to Iheanacho, the divisional disparity between the two teams is not a cause for disappointment. Iheanacho believes his team can compete despite the obvious disadvantage.
He said: ‘We’re excited.’ We know what Anfield is like. It’s a great atmosphere there. “We don’t go there for the atmosphere, we go there to finish,” the Nigerian striker revealed on Leicester City’s website.
We played against them in preseason and are currently in a good position. we win the match. This is a cup game but we know what they are like. They are a strong team and are doing well in the Premier League.
They will be strong for us, but we have to work hard to win. I wish I could do that, so let’s see what happens. They press really well. You need to be careful about that too.
We will try to let them play, but we know they are a strong team.
The 26-year-old played in all but one of the Foxes’ games at the start of the season, recording two goals and two assists in nine appearances.
